Topic: "How do you like your turkey and gravy?" On the rocks, for me, please. (Read 4044 times)

I saw these when I went to Target to pick up the DVD today.Jones is a regular staple around here (they test market all sorts of weird flavors all over the place) but this box set wasn't appealing to me.

i picked up the gift set the other day. i think i am gonna give it to my brother for xmas. hopefully he will share or at least try them. i have been very curious if they really taste like turkey and grave etc or are just cream soda flavored or something.

SEATTLE (AP) — Jones Soda Co., a Seattle-based purveyor of offbeat fizzy water is selling holiday-themed limited-edition packs of sodas that include flavors such as ham and latkes.

The Christmas pack will feature such flavors as Sugar Plum, Christmas Tree, Egg Nog and Christmas Ham. The Hanukkah pack will have Jelly Doughnut, Apple Sauce, Chocolate Coins and Latkes sodas, the company said in a statement Friday.

It even will be kosher, the company says — including the ham.

The packs will go on sale Sunday, with a portion of the proceeds to be given to charity, the company said.

For its contract to supply soda to Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks NFL football team, Jones came up with Perspiration, Dirt, Sports Cream and Natural Field Turf. The company — fortunately or unfortunately — prides itself on the accuracy of the taste.

Jones also makes more traditional flavors, including root beer, cherry and strawberry sodas.

looks like the Jewish pack has the potential to be a bit tastier than their usual fare. "Christmas Tree" flavor? sounds great...

That pack does look pretty good, but do you know what would be even better, for our Jewish friends? A Jones Soda Limited Edition Nine-Pack Gift Set, in the shape of a Hanukkah menorah. If there's a better way to celebrate the rededication of the Temple after the successful Jewish revolt against the Seleucid monarchy, than by drinking a different unusually-flavored carbonated beverage, every night, for eight straight nights in December, I don't know what it is.

What you didn't like the Brussel Sprout Soda? ... *shudder* There was some dry heaving going on at my house when we tried that one. Easily one of the worst things I've ever had the displeasure of tasting. I'm somewhat excited for the new Christmas and Hanukkah flavors this year. I love me some Egg Nog, I wonder if I will feel the same about the soda though?

I see these in the store every year but have never actually pulled the trigger. This year would be as good a time as any to start.

I'm also curious what kind of mixed drinks you could get from these. Jelly doughnut and Kahlua? Ham and Southern Comfort? Christmas tree and vodka? They probably all fall under "good in theory and deadly in practice," but you never know.
